" Rob Van Dam's match with Snitsky on Tuesday could have very well been his last match ever in WWE. Wade Keller of the Pro Wrestling Torch is reporting that RVD is officially done with World Wrestling Entertainment as of last Wednesday. WWE felt that keeping RVD around and burying him on TV was not worth it and it was better to get him off TV as soon as possible.

His contract wasn't going to expire until late June at the earliest, but WWE officials cut that short because RVD said he would not re-sign with them and they had nothing for him until then. Despite the early release, RVD has a no-compete clause, and thus he can't show up in TNA next week for instance.

He is expected to sign with TNA after a long deserved summer break. If and when he joins TNA, it will probably be in September at the earliest. TNA is trying to land a two hour slot for the fall season on Spike, so if they end up getting it, they'll probably hold him off for the two hour show's debut.

RVD deserves better then this and its a shame that he's being treated like this. For a company that has had such success they certainly allow back room politics cloud judgements and in the end it is us the fans that suffer.

Personally, I won't miss RVD that much. He was fun when he first showed up in the WWE, especially the early hardcore matches against Jeff Hardy, but really he always used the same boring moves in every match and rarely did anything extreme or innovative. Now whether that's his fault or the WWE's doesn't really matter in my mind, either way it wasn't working anymore and he needed to move on.
